Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma, so the male gametes can fertilise the female gametes.

In sexual reproduction, pollen is transferred from the anther of one plant to the stigma of a different plant. CROSS POLINATION

Fertilisation is the fusion of gametes.

A pollen grain lands on the stigmaof a flower. A pollen tube grows out of pollen grain, down the style and to the ovary.

A nucleus from the male gamete moves down the ube to join with a female gamete in the ovary. Fertilisation is the process when the two nuclei fuse together to form a zygote. This divides by mitosis to form an embryo.

Each fertilised female gamete forms a seed. The ovary delevops into a fruit around the seed.
